We want to continue along the same line of work you had with Chover, which I understand has gone well. Regarding the renewal of the grant, we understand that the council will have the money and that it will not be a problem.”

The party led by Moreno also expressed its commitment to working to maintain Fertiberia’s sponsorship and to supporting the club in its search for new sponsors: “Miguel Chover is already in contact with new companies that will arrive at Parc Sagunt, and we hope to continue the negotiations ourselves to secure sponsorships for the city’s sports clubs in general”.

Regarding the new sports hall, the PSOE lead candidate stated that they have “All our determination to see it completed. We have been informed that this has not been possible due to technical problems with the companies and the tendering process. Our intention is to continue working to finish it as soon as possible.”
